What is Three for Free?

Three for Free is a free parking program designed for visitors who park in historic downtown for three hours or less. Three for Free parking only applies on weekdays between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.; the spaces are available for extended parking after 5 p.m. on weeknights and all day Saturday and Sunday.

Are You Staying Longer?

Park and Stay zones provide parking spaces for those who wish to stay longer than three hours. Some spaces may only be available for night and weekend parking. Please observe posted restrictions.

How are Parking Programs Enforced?

To ensure traffic flow and availability of parking places for our visitors, Parking Enforcement Officers will issue citations for cars exceeding the three-hour limit as well as those violating parking laws like improper parking in handicap-accessible spaces, fire lanes and no-parking zones.

Downtown Area Shuttle (DASH)

It’s Free and Easy!

The Downtown Area Shuttle, or DASH for short, is changing the way visitors get around downtown with a fun, alternative mode of transportation. DASH is an electric six-seat shuttle that scoots around downtown taking shoppers, diners and visitors where they need to go.

DASH travels from remote parking lots to bring guests to the square or to help them get from one location to another. Best of all, riding with DASH is free. Just give a wave and hop on! Or, you can call 469-733-DASH (3274).
